The most intriguing of the group is the Boni Victor Bloom (pen name Vic Bloom and Victor Boni) scripted Wally Williams, “All-American teenage boy. ” Wally is a student at “Riverview High School” who sports a sweater embroidered with the letter “R.” For some reason, this sounds vaguely familiar?

Moreover, his friend’s name is “Jughead.” Even better yet, he’s part of a “love triangle,” in love with an uppity rich brunette and yet loved by Betty, the sweet but poor blonde. “Introducing Archie” was scripted by Vic Bloom less than a year later in Pep Comics #22 (December 1941). History it seems, has forgotten to give at least partial appropriate credit for the creation of a comic phenomena.
